Since Nov. 3, workers represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers’ International Union (BCTGM) Local 37 have been on strike against Rich Products at the Jon Donaire Desserts plant in Santa Fe Springs, California. Working in perpetually cold and wet conditions, these workers make ice cream cakes for household-name stores like Baskin-Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery, Walmart, Costco, Ralph’s, Vons, Smart & Final, and Safeway.
As Cristina Lujan, a worker at the Santa Fe Springs plant and BCTGM Local 37 member, recently told Forbes: “We are on strike because we’re fighting for higher wages, affordable health care and to be treated with respect and dignity.†In this interview, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Lujan about the current state of the strike and what brought workers to the picket line in the first place.

All people should live with dignity. They should be secure in food, shelter, clothing and healthcare and until that occurs not a single billionaire should be allowed to exist in the world.
Those jobs are unfit for any human being no matter how lucrative the pay. Society would be far better off in the long run if and when those jobs are fully automated.
That's what we should be fighting for.
Have you looked into Oklahoma trying to pass a law to make filming police
a crime?
What do you guys think about the ban on filming cops in Oklahoma ???
I live in uk , watching how many times cops in usa use force and deadly force for sometimes no apparent reason makes me glad our officers are seldom armed except tactical officers.
I was a baker. It destroyed my arms.

I bet she's triple vaxed and super boosted
Mask on in the shower
Wow so the owner is worth 7.5 billion and refuse to pay is employees $1 more corporate greed will be one of the dunfall of our nation it's sad ownership can't see the big picture 😢 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ½
If she didn’t like her job then she should find a new one instead of whining.
$17/hr is only $2 more than the current CA state minimum wage of $15/hr. That's ridiculous for the skill level and speed necessary in order to perform. Fast food restaurants are paying their employees the same rates. These workers are only asking for what they deserve.
Not the real news with this guy. I hope you stay off of the Hill. You're polluting the channel with your propaganda
Give them all $2,000.00 an hour raise, problem solved.
let's see, they have no skills at all, they are doing a minimum wage job, and they want maximum pay, if they get that pay increase then the owners will have to charge double for their product! then they would be out of business and the nonskilled workers would be out of a job. sounds like a libturd state alright,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Management wants to manage labor however labor is ready to say there has to be a minimum amount of consideration for them.
